Taylor Momsen wants to have children


Taylor Momsen wants to settle down and have children.
The Pretty Reckless singer - who performed at the this year's Isle of Wight Festival on Saturday (14.06.14) - wants to get married and start a family in the future but is waiting for the "perfect person".
She told the Metro newspaper: "One day I'd love to have children and get married. It would have to be the perfect person. I don't know who that will be."
She added: "At the moment I'm married to my guitar and my notebook."
Taylor is well known for playing Jenny Humphrey in the TV series 'Gossip Girl', but she insists she is in no rush to return to return to acting as she is fully focused on her music.
The 20-year-old star said: "Acting's not something I'm pursuing. Who knows if I will ever act again, but I will be making records forever."
Taylor - who released her second studio album 'Going to Hell' earlier this year has previously spoken of her difficult transition from a young actor to successful rock star.
She said: "In the beginning, it definitely took a minute for people to listen to the music and get over the age factor and the fact that I had previously acted.
"But now the fans really like the music, it's about writing a good song and connecting with people. It seems to be working ... they know every word to every song at every show. It's pretty f***ing awesome."

Justin Bieber to be charged with vandalism for egg incident


Justin Bieber will reportedly be charged with criminal vandalism after he allegedly egged his neighbour's house in January.
The 20-year-old singer was accused of causing more than $20,000 worth of damage after he pelted eggs at a fellow resident's home in Calabasas, California, earlier this year, and it is now believed he will be charged with the crime later this week, according to TMZ.com.
It is not yet known whether the troubled star will face misdemeanour or felony charges, but a senior officer investigating the case believes Justin deserves the harshest punishment available for vandalism.
Dave Thompson said: "I led a team of people into a house where there's armed security. I wouldn't have done that if this was just a misdemeanor case."
In California, a misdemeanour vandalism charge carries up to a one-year imprisonment and a maximum $10,000 fine if convicted.
However, a felony charge carries heftier consequences and the 'Baby' hitmaker - who was allegedly captured on camera committing the crime - could face up to three years in prison, a penalty of up to $50,000, and probation if he is found guilty.
Meanwhile, this isn't Justin's only legal battle as he will reportedly plead guilty to reckless driving later this week following his arrest in January for allegedly drag racing in Malibu.

Kylie Jenner is dating Jaden Smith


Kylie Jenner and Jaden Smith are dating.
The pair, who have sparked speculation on numerous occasions that they are romancing each other, have remained tight-lipped on their relationship status, but their mutual friend Lincoln Lewis has confirmed the rumours after he referred to Kylie as "Jaden's missus".
However, after realising that he had let the cat out of the bag during the interview with Sydney radio station Kiis FM, the Australian actor attempted to backtrack on his comment by saying: "We've all just been hanging out dude, so I was like I don't know. It's not a confirmation, it's just an idiot's assumption about things."
Kylie, 16, was reportedly spotting locking lips with Jaden, 15, at her half-sister Kim Kardashian's wedding reception in Florence, Italy, on May 25, after he'd accompanied her to the romantic nuptials.
However, the 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians' star got tongues wagging on Friday (13.06.14) when she was photographed cuddling up to her friend Miles Richie, 20, in her car before the hunk leaned in for a smooch.
Meanwhile, Kylie's mother Kris Jenner, 58, recently admitted that she has a "very close" relationship with Jaden, whose parents are Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith, and sees him as one of her own kids.
She said previously: "He is the greatest kid in the world. I'm very close to Jaden and he's like one of my own, you know."

Samuel L. Jackson shocked by Harrison Ford’s accident


Samuel L. Jackson was surprised to hear about Harrison Ford's injuries.
The 65-year-old actor was shocked by news that Harrison - who has reprised his role as Hans Solo in the sci-fi franchise - was crushed by a hydraulic door on set of the 'Star Wars: Episode VII' last week, and insists the accident wouldn't have been his fault.
Speaking on ITV's 'Lorraine' this morning (16.06.14), Samuel said: "I'm sure it wasn't because he wanted to or it was something he was doing ... I'm sure something went terribly awry if that happened because most times insurance companies don't like us doing those things!"
Harrison, 71, was left with a broken ankle following the incident at the Pinewood Studios in Buckinghamshire and is unlikely to return to the set for some time, which has disrupted the filming schedule.
Meanwhile, Samuel - who starred as Mace Windu in the franchise from 1999 to 2005 - admitted he would have been too busy to reprise his role for the upcoming film, but believes writers may have struggled to bring back his character any way after the jedi was killed off in 'Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith'.
When asked if would have liked to join the cast, he said: "No, not really - I thought I did and it would've been interesting but if I don't get the call, I have so many things going on that I can do and hopefully that new era of 'Star Wars' films will be as popular as the ones that we did and the ones that were done before."

Gisele Bundchen to hand out FIFA World Cup trophy


Gisele Bundchen is to hand out the FIFA World Cup 2014 trophy.
The 33-year-old model has been chosen to stand in for Brazil's president Dilma Rousseff, who has been the target of abuse due to the huge expense incurred from hosting the tournament, to present the golden prize to the winning team at the official closing ceremony on July 13, according to the Boston Globe newspaper.
The Brazilian beauty will reportedly be joined by her husband Tom Brady - with whom she has five-year-old son Benjamin and two-year-old daughter Vivian - at the event, which will take place at the Maracana Mário Filho Stadium in Rio de Janeiro and feature performances from Avicii, Carlos Santana and Wyclef.
Gisele, who was born in Três de Maio, divides her time between Boston, New York and Los Angeles, where she and Tom have just sold their eco-friendly mansion for a reported $40 million.
Meanwhile, Jennifer Lopez, 44, kicked off the international football tournament on June 12 when she took to the stage with Pitbull and Claudia Leitte to sing the official FIFA song 'We Are One (Ole Ola)'.
However, it was initially unclear whether the 'On The Floor' hitmaker would be performing her set on the night after she pulled out days before the event due to unspecified "production issues."
Although, the brunette beauty, who recently split from her long-term boyfriend Casper Smart, soon had a change of heart as she didn't want to disappoint her fans.

Katie Price to host radio show


Katie Price is to present her first ever radio show.
The former glamour model is joining FUBAR Radio - the UK's only uncensored subscription station - to present a Tuesday morning slot from 10am to 1pm alongside comedian Mark Dolan, 40.
Katie, 36, will co-host the weekly show and will voice her opinions on the week's news and interacting directly with FUBAR listeners.
Katie - who is pregnant with her second child with her estranged third husband Kieran Hayler, who she dumped after discovering her was having an affair with her former best friend Jane Pountney - said: "I can't wait to join FUBAR radio. I've got a lot to get off my chest and this is the perfect station! I've always enjoyed being a guest on radio shows and now I can't wait to host my own show alongside my fantastic co-host Mark Dolan.
"Listeners can expect the unexpected, total honesty and a very fun three hours while we are on air."
Mark - who has previously presented for BBC London and hosts Channel 4 game show 'Balls Of Steel' - is looking forward to having Katie join him in the studio.
He said: "I can't wait to get on the radio with Katie. She's hilarious and one of the biggest stars in the country. Her honest and outspoken views will have millions tuning in. Katie's got a lot to say, and you'll hear it all on FUBAR."
FUBAR's CEO Duncan Smith is sure that outspoken Katie will be well suited to presenting the unregulated channel.
He said:"FUBAR has always been about creating radio that can't be heard anywhere else, edgy, provocative and above all, entertaining. We are delighted to welcome Katie to the station, as like our fantastic comedy artists, Katie has never been shy in her expressing her views and FUBAR is the only place she can really let rip about what's in the news."

Jennifer Lopez pulls out of World Cup


Jennifer Lopez will no longer perform at the World Cup.
The 'On the Floor' hitmaker was due to join Pitbull and Claudia Leitte at the tournament's opening ceremony in Brazil on Thursday (12.06.14) to sing the official song 'We Are One' before the home nation takes on Croatia.
However, FIFA have now announced Jennifer won't perform because of unspecified "production issues".
A representative for the singer - who recently split from boyfriend Casper Smart - added: "Regretfully Jennifer Lopez will not be attending this year's World Cup opening ceremonies."
Just last week Jennifer - who also missed the official unveiling of plans for the song in January - said she was "thrilled" to perform at the opening ceremony.
She said: "This is an amazing celebration of global unity, competition and sport."
Despite Jennifer pulling out of the performance, Pitbull is still excited.
He said: "To be performing 'We Are One' to the world, especially in such a beautiful country like Brazil, is going to be a lot of fun.
"But more than this, it is going to show the world that music is the universal language."

Michelle Williams has ‘spiritual bond’ with Beyonce and Kelly Rowland


Michelle Williams has a "spiritual bond" with Beyonce and Kelly Rowland.
The Destiny's Child bandmates recently reunited to record 'Say Yes', a song for Michelle's fourth studio album, and even though the 'Survivor' group - who briefly reformed onstage at the Super Bowl half-time show in 2013 - have been disbanded for nearly a decade, they remain close as ever.
Michelle gushed to PEOPLE: "We're honoured to be there for each other in our happy moments. I've never really had genuine female relationships until I met them. I don't care what anyone says, we miss each other.
"We have that spiritual bond with each other where we know when you're really tired, you need your sister with you today, or you just need a phone call to let them know you're thinking about them. I call them my soulmates."
The 33-year-old singer also revealed that filming the music video for 'Say Yes' brought back many memories as it reminded her of when she first met Beyonce and Kelly, who hired her to replace axed Destiny's Child members LaTavia Roberson and LeToya Luckett in 1999.
She said: "I can't believe it's been 15 years [since we've met]. That's why I was so happy when they did my album and Beyoncé had her braids! It took me back when I first met her and she had those blonde braids. I was like, 'Oh my God, you're taking me back to 'Say My Name'!"
Meanwhile, Michelle has denounced claims she isn't as successful as her fellow 'Lose My Breath' hitmakers, insisting she has worked non-stop for 15 years.
The gospel songstress feels her work goes "under the radar" compared to worldwide superstar Beyonce, 32, and Kelly, 33, who has had notable stints as a reality TV judge.
She fired back: "A lot of things I do go under the radar, so people do feel that I'm not as successful as the other ones, but I've made Broadway history and my fourth album is coming out. I've been working 15 years straight. I haven't stopped."

Tracy Morgan screamed for help


Tracy Morgan was "screaming for help" after being involved in a car accident.
The '30 Rock' star - who sustained a number of injuries, including a broken femur, a broken nose and broken ribs, in the smash - shouted for assistance after the limo bus he was travelling in overturned when a Walmart van ploughed into it on the New Jersey Turnpike on Saturday (07.06.14) but his driver, Tyrone Gale, was unable to reach any of his trapped passengers, including writer James 'Jimmy Mack' McNair, who died at the scene.
Tyrone told the New York Daily News newspaper: "I climbed around and heard Tracy screaming for help. I climbed up on the body of the limo bus... but I couldn't reach them... I just remember the impact.
"We didn't know which way was up, which way was down. I don't know if we flipped several times or one time. I saw the condition of everybody, and I knew it would just make it worse if I tried to pull them up and out of the vehicle."
Another passenger in the limo, Harris Stanton, feels "lucky" to have survived the accident with just a broken wrist.
He said: "I didn't get hurt as bad as they did. I was lucky... It's (McNair's death) sad. It's very sad."
Tracy was airlifted to Robert Wood Johnson Medical Center in New Brunswick, along with his friend and travelling partner Ardie Fuqua.
Four other people were inside the truck with Tracy and Ardie, and six vehicles in total were involved in the crash.
The driver of the Walmart van, Kevin Roper, has been charged with one count of death by auto and four counts of assault by auto.
